The Gazette weighs Iowa class recommissioning with 91 million initial work and 411.1 million full refurbishments to compare to modern carrier and submarine power. Proponents praise survivability and psychological impact while critics call the plan wasteful and outdated in nuclear age warfare.
The Iowa Housing Finance Authority approved a plan to sell $30 million in bonds to finance 30 year fixed rate loans for households with incomes up to $33,100 and homes up to $63,810 to $77,000 in some areas. The program aims to aid homebuilding despite high rates and would involve a 4 percent origination fee and minimal down payment through VA or FHA.
The piece critiques clergy involvement in a recurring Cause of the Month Club, highlighting Father Andrew Greeley's warning against liberation theology and Billy Graham's Moscow peace visit. It warns against church leaders mixing faith with politics, urging restraint to preserve credibility and avoid entanglement with transient causes.
A reader contrasts American comfort with Haitian deprivation citing scarce food and water, few jobs, and primitive medical care. The piece urges gratitude for health, home, family, and daily joys while noting humane concerns about animals and pigs.
The writer argues the U S and Soviet Union hold roughly equal strategic bomb stocks, cites Center for Defense Information figures, warns against more arms spending, highlights dangers of nuclear war and ozone depletion, and urges reassessment of national priorities away from leaders like George Bush who called a nuclear war winnable.
A former board member now managing director of Cedar Rapids Community Theatre expresses gratitude to The Gazette for its coverage of local theatre events. The writer praises the paper for its community focus and for benefiting actors and audiences through review.
A reader challenges the Better Baby Institute approach in Philadelphia noting lack of standardized tests to verify Doman's bold statements. They question two year olds recognizing songbirds and three year olds reading Japanese, suggesting results may reflect prompting or social factors rather than true cognitive gains.
